His examining trial has probably
been held at Cadiz by this time and
the general opinion was, when ouI
information was received, that he

known mulatto OF the same name

reputation Of being worthless, tri-

Richard III never wanted a horse
half as bad as the friends of prohibit
ton in Christian county want a lead
er. Over three thousand men in the
county are on record in favor of the
prohibition law and yet not one of
them has so far shown the manhood,
the nerve and the courage to take a
bold, square outstand in favor Of
stopping its violation. Those who
passed the law must not lie supinely
upon their backs and expect it to be
enforced by those who did not vote
for it. If they want 1t enforced they
must help do it. We have outlined
the best plan by which the guilty
parties can be brought to justice and
their unlawful business broken up
and If some Of the three thousand
friends of prohibition are not willing
10 undertake the work, they ought
to stop whining and complaining
about the non-enforcement of the law.
These are plain words, but 1t some
times takes plain words to tell plain
facts.
Mr.. Jas. T. Wood, manager of the
Clarksville Opera House, writes to
Manager Rodgers yesterday as fol-
lows; at gives me great satisfaction
to recommend the Gilbert Huntley
Co. to you. They have given gener-
al satisfaction here this week and
their houses have grown larger each
evening. They deserve good patron
age from your people and you can
not say too much In their favor.
Work them as large business as pos
sible and you will see before the end
of the week that the Co. will grow
with your people.
Your Friend,
JAS. T. WooD,"

a man in Hopkinsvllle yesterday who
did not have in the rain something
to be thankful for.
